I have a workgroup of size N, and local array "buffer" of size N.
For each work item in the group, with local id k, I want to calculate
the sum S of all array items with index less than k.
i.e.
for (int i = 0; i < k; ++i)
S += buffer;
Currently, I calculate this naively, as above. Is there a more efficient way of
doing this, where intermediate sums are stored back into buffer, for example?
